In addition to the included hex keys , assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , an
adjustable wrench , and needlenose pliers .
Use the drawings below to identify the hardware used during assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag,
check to see if it has been preattached to one of the parts to be assembled. Extra hardware may be in-
